All I have to say is after reading this next article, I am hoping "Calico" has their contacts looking directly at Peregrine and ready to tear up Big Pharma.
Google contact lens could be option for diabetics
Jan 17, 2014
Brian Otis gingerly holds what looks like a typical contact lens on his index finger. Look closer. Sandwiched in this lens are two twinkling glitter-specks loaded with tens of thousands of miniaturized transistors. It’s ringed with a hair-thin antenna. Together these remarkable miniature electronics can monitor glucose levels in tears of diabetics and then wirelessly transmit them to a handheld device.
‘‘It doesn’t look like much, but it was a crazy amount of work to get everything so very small,’’ he said before the project was unveiled Thursday.
During years of soldering hair-thin wires to miniaturize electronics, Otis burned his fingertips so often that he can no longer feel the tiny chips he made from scratch in Google’s Silicon Valley headquarters, a small price to pay for what he says is the smallest wireless glucose sensor ever made.

pipeline." -- Big Pharmas nightmare... unless they are fortunate enough to have The Bavi Edge!
